    Netatalk 4.0 - Future-proofing Apple File Sharing

    The fundamental issue for your crashes should be fixed now. The new code is in bleeding edge main, and will be in the upcoming 4.5.0 release. It took a fundamental rewrite of signal handling for logging routines to make them async safe. Thanks again for the helpful report!

    Netatalk 4.0 - Future-proofing Apple File Sharing

    in later revisions I slightly redrew and renamed tcp → fileserver see the screenshot what it looks like now the background is: netatalk 2.x was able to distinguish between TCP and AppleTalk connections when mounting a volume, and served a different icon depending on the transport layer...

    Netatalk 4.0 - Future-proofing Apple File Sharing

    netatalk 4.5.0 beta is now available for adventurous users we have introduced advanced ARC cache and a wide range of deep optimizations that speed up file operations, especially noticeably when you enumerate a large number of files, i.e. when browsing a remote volume see the new manual chapter...

    Much improved afpfs-ng + AFP plugin for KDE file managers

    Since I started dual boot Asahi Linux / Fedora Remix and KDE on my MacBook Pro M1, I found out the hard way that KDE file managers doesn't speak AFP natively (unlike GNOME). A little while ago I was able to modernize the afpfs-ng AFP client enough that it became possible to use libfuse3 to mount...

    AFP client for post macOS 15.5 macs

    My fork of afpfs-ng can now be considered more or less stable. The other day, the macFUSE maintainer kindly fixed a bug that enabled macOS xattr to be copied to and from AFP volumes mounted with macFUSE. You must use macFUSE v5.1.3 or later otherwise the Finder will throw errors when it sees...

    Netatalk 4.0 - Future-proofing Apple File Sharing

    @Slimes can you please move this support request over to the GitHub project? That's a better place for sharing logs and analyzing stack traces etc.

    Macintosh 128k/512k/Plus 240V Analog Board Recap List

    I'm recapping a 240V model, and wanted to note here that the stock C33 and C36 are 4700pf Y rated filter caps. The particular replacement part listed in this article has X1/Y1 rating which should be fine too, but if you need to source a different replacement part, a Y rated one would be appropriate.

    sit - Create StuffIt archives on Unix systems

    I've been tinkering with megatron recently actually. The main reason megatron doesn't work with modern netatalk is because AppleSingle support was removed from libatalk. I have a local branch where megatron is building again with netatalk 4.x but there are some bugs to work through. If there is...

    HTTP proxy and transcoder for vintage browsers

    @PepeSEATvintage It's fascinating to see a live website that still uses TLS 1.0! At the end of the day, reaching out to the owner of the website and ask them to update the encryption standard might be the only reliable way to access it from any recent user agent. Curiously, the same error...

    AFP client for post macOS 15.5 macs

    I have on the netatalk roadmap to create a PQC UAM. Once that's in place, Apple then just has update their macOS client and bam, fully secure AFP. ;)

    AFP client for post macOS 15.5 macs

    Has Apple announced the removal date for the AFP client yet? I saw MacRumors and other news sites making assumptions, based on some warning messages you get recently when attempting to use AirPort and Time Capsule devices. But beyond the deprecation notice in the Sequoia 15.5 release notes, I...

    AFP client for post macOS 15.5 macs

    FWIW I have been tinkering with my own fork of afpfs-ng on and off for a few years. I have fixed a lot of bugs and improved the code quality while adding support for MacFUSE. But there's some fundamental flaw with the FUSE code that makes it extremely unstable on contemporary systems (Linux and...

    Netatalk 4.0 - Future-proofing Apple File Sharing

    I don't think you need to care about all that. The "system/io.netatalk.daemon" service just needs to be enabled, after which the netatalk daemons will start up automatically on system boot. The meson build system should set it up for you by default. But if you for instance run "launchctl print...
